Example: Like in Iran.
I have heard about this https://meshtastic.org/de/
Okay so the thing is, how do you hide the origin of the signals?
Cuz triangulation…
I heard that supposedly Iran sent police to go door to door and confiscate Starlink satalite dishes, so… like…
Which is why the keyword “communicate safely”
Seems like all civillian radios have this same weakness.
Anything that transmits a signal can be found, just get that out of the way immediately. The only way to be 100% untraceable is to never transmit.
Mesh networks, however, are pretty safe. Triangulating the origin of a mesh transmission will just lead to the repeater node which, admittedly is a pain in the dick if they kill the repeater and the network goes dark, but it doesn’t lead directly back to a person, just a box they stuck on a cell tower or up on a hill somewhere.
Keep mobile while online. Make sure to turn off the transceiver long before getting home.
All radios anywhere have this weakness, including the little radios in all your wifi-enabled devices. If they are shutting down meshtastic they are also shutting down all the local networks.

It’s harder to track the origin of a satellite bounced signal.
Lora communication is line of sight. You would still need quite a few people working together. FSO is harder to intercept but I don’t really know how complicated it is to set up or it’s range.
To communicate inside city without 3rd party knowing you can put ethernet cables along power lines or across laundry lines. Cable between router and switch can be 100 meters long. For long distance you need to use radio frequencies and radio can be triangulated.
Best way to avoid triangulation is figure out cars plates that do it, the hardware for triangulation is big - especially the antena so they will most likely keep it in same car(s). Once you have plates you can just watch car working hours and keep emitting signals after those hours but of course if you’re targeted they might change hours.
Cuba is or was doing city wide LAN gaming without internet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEplzHraw3c
Good Luck
Reticulum and NomadNet.
short wave radio?
Last time I tried listening… all I found was a bunch of religious stuff, and there was barely anything… at least in here the US.
I wonder if there are some actual useful stations that could be picked up elsewhere like in Iran
IP over carrier pigeon?
briar is an app that s build for that goal
